PERRY: No kidding, Obama clobbers Romney in part of Aurora; Cats dinged, too.

Kids backed Obama and also voted to back a law that would limit the amount of sugary soft drinks children should drink each week, and they agreed that every child should be able to see a doctor when they need to. Gotta love kids. Enough to make a grown liberal cry

Well, President Barack Obama clobbered GOP challenger Mitt Romney in an election among patients at Children’s Hospital Colorado today. How the two presidential contenders fair with all Colorado voters has yet to be revealed.

Celebrating Election Day, Children’s created a voting festival for patients, who decided the next president, as well as a few choice issues.

After tallying votes from young patients at the hospital, Obama swept the election 55 percent to 38 percent. Romney did, however, hold his own over write-in candidates that included Miss Piggy and Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Kids backed Obama and also voted to back a law that would limit the amount of sugary soft drinks children should drink each week, and they agreed that every child should be able to see a doctor when they need to. Gotta love kids. Enough to make a grown liberal cry.

Voters also agreed that dogs are far better than cats. A whopping 44 percent of patients gave paws before offering a high five to canine companions. Underdog cats garnered only 14 percent of the vote, just above elephants and donkeys. No one said politics is pretty.

Unlike voters outside of northwest Aurora, hospital officials said these voters still seemed enthused about the election, seeing how the campaign cycle and TV commercials were limited to just that morning.

Congress would do well to check it out.
